THEATRE-Producer
A dynamic theatre company dedicated to the creation of new plays since 1999. Original and provocative, Urban Spine's plays challenge the boundaries of theatre using outdoor venues, large casts, highly visceral physicality, and incorporating original film and music.
Victoria wrote many successful grants, negotiated union contracts, assembled teams, oversaw creative direction, and PR. Before Reality TV,Urban Spine was placing audience members in the reality of hypothetical worlds for a complete theatrical experience
Work Ethic
The smaller scale of her professional productions have developed Victoria into a multi dimensional talent, adept at all sides of production, from script editing to grant writing, casting to DOP, stylist to locations. A hands-on leader, Victoria inspires through her tenacity, refreshing work ethic, ascetic instincts, and the ability to nurture a positive environment where creativity can blossom. A self-taught creator, Victoria honed her camera techniques through her own dark room, and taught herself to sew and design one-of-a-kind dresses made from recycled t-shirts. The full spectrum of her work, including demo reels, can be found at www.urbanspine.com
Writer
An award winning playwright, Victoria has been produced across Canada and the USA, including NIGHTWOOD, ALBERTA THEATRE PROJECTS, LORRAINE KISMA THEATER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, and FACTORY THEATRE.
